Wednesday May 8th 2024

The temperature peaked in around 95 degrees late this afternoon, but it felt much cooler than yesterday’s 90 degree high. There was a lot more wind today and the humidity was average. The trend is forecast to continue through the end of the week. Tomorrow may be the warmest day of the week pushing at the 98 degree high for the date.

Today turned out to be a chores around my RV home kind of day. I got a little bit of cleaning and decluttering done. The tanks also needed dumping. That little chore is quick and easy but always has a tiny bit of risk associated with it. I always check the connections and hose position before pulling the valves. Another task I need to accomplish is washing the windows. The outsides have developed a film of dirt. I keep hoping for a period of rain to tackle that task, but I’ll probably have to dig a squirt bottle out of storage to complete the task.

Walking around the RV park today, I noticed a lot more changes in the occupancy level of the park. The rate of departures seems to have slowed down, but a new pattern has developed. A lot more RVs have been closed up for the summer. Their slide rooms have been retracted. The outside patio furniture stowed away. In some cases golf carts have been covered and strategically placed to shelter from sun and wind. The sewer and water hoses at some RVs have been disconnected and stowed. These are all obvious signs of an RV in storage, but not everybody wants to be obvious. In a couple of cases neighbors are parking their cars to make unoccupied RVs seem occupied.
